If the 2023 debt ceiling standoff feels familiar, that’s because it is.

More than a decade ago — in 2011 — Congress was in a very similar position after Republicans retook the House, and Democrats held the White House and the Senate. Then, as now, the GOP was balking on an increase to the debt ceiling unless they got the spending cuts they demanded.

The U.S. debt limit clock is ticking.

A political stand-off in Washington on the U.S. debt limit is pushing the country perilously close to default.

In 2011, the country came within 72 hours of that happening.

Today, On Point: What’s the path forward? We hear lessons from America's last debt ceiling crisis.

House speaker Kevin McCarthy’s narrow majority will put him at a distinct disadvantage in the debt-ceiling fight relative to what John Boehner had to work with back in 2011.

The reason is that during these sorts of standoffs between the House and Senate, it’s always helpful to the negotiating position of one chamber when the majority party is able to pass a bill, and then deflect blame to the other chamber for blocking it.

Former House Speaker John Boehner says that aside from international affairs and foreign policy, President Trump's time in office has so far been a "complete disaster."

Former House Speaker John Boehner said earlier this week that Donald Trump’s presidency so far has been “a complete disaster” and that the billionaire-turned commander in chief is still learning the job.

Former House speaker John A. Boehner continued a streak of remarkable post-office candor during a Wednesday appearance at a Houston energy conference, telling a luncheon audience that President Trump’s term has — foreign policy aside — been a “complete disaster.”

John Boehner supports Donald Trump -- just not any of his policies.

"Donald Trump is the nominee, whether people like it or not," the former House speaker, during a question-and-answer session at a hedge fund conference in Las Vegas, told attendees Thursday. Boehner, an Ohio Republican, made clear he would support the nominee.

When John Boehner announced his resignation last month he said he wanted to "clean the barn" before he left. What he is accomplishing this week should put him in the Barn Cleaning Hall of Fame.

House Republican leaders have unveiled a tentative two-year budget agreement with the Obama White House aimed at preventing a partial government shutdown and forestalling a debt crisis.

Outgoing Speaker John Boehner promised to deal with debt ceiling before entering retirement, and he appears to be doing so with this tentative budget agreement with the White House. According to The New York Times, a 144-page “discussion draft” was posted a little before midnight last night, which raises the debt ceiling until March of 2017, slightly increases spending, and provides cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
